Your account was suspended because Wordpress is causing too much load. I have unsuspended your account, but please try to limit the load you put on our servers as it slows down not only your site, but the sites of all other HelioHost users sharing your server.

 

This is really common for Wordpress. It can cause massive amounts of load even if you're hardly getting any traffic to your site. Wordpress is also incredibly insecure and very easy to hack. We see Wordpress accounts get hacked all the time and usually the hacker sets up a phishing site on your domain. We strongly recommend using any software other than Wordpress.

 

Something that might help is this simply static Wordpress plugin. It will speed up your site, reduce the load you cause, and reduce your chance of getting hacked. If you try it let us know how it worked out for you.

 

If you insist on using Wordpress you might want to consider purchasing a VPS instead. VPS hosting gives you an entire virtual server to yourself, including no load limits, a dedicated IP address, and full root access. Wordpress sites load relatively slowly on our shared hosting, but they will be much faster on a VPS.

Thanks for the fast response, is there any thing I can see to detect this and maybe deactivate the site temporairly?

 

I'll look into some wordpress alternatives.

 

Thanks again for everything

Wordpress alternatives include: Joomla, Craft CMS, PHP Fusion, Subrion, and Expression Engine.

There's a page in cPanel called Account Load that you can monitor. The closer those bars are to 100%, the more likely you are to be suspended. If you're at 100% for either of them, you're near or at the top of the list for a suspension if the server load spikes.

 

If you want to disable your site, the easiest way to do so is to put deny from all in the .htaccess file. It'll replace your site with a Forbidden message until its removed.

Great, thanks!
